George Booth Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

Cartoonist George Booth has spent four decades at the New Yorker constructing a universe so distinct, it would be immediately identifiable even without his signature on the bottom of the panel. In Booth’s world a bare lightbulb dangles precariously . . . a frayed carpet barely covers the living room floor . . . flies buzz . . . a couple speaks matter-of-factly . . . a man looks up from behind his newspaper. And somewhere, in the foreground or off to the side, a dog twitches involuntarily. In Booth’s cartoons dogs act as a Greek chorus, serving as a proxy for the reader by pointing out the mundane absurdity of life that is obviously lost on their owners. This 40th-anniversary collection highlights George Booth’s best and funniest dog cartoons—with a special introduction by Bill Cosby.

Just how wacky can a Wednesday get? With shoes on the wall, tortoises in trees, pigs without legs and teachers on roller skates, children will have lots of fun counting all the wacky things they can find on each spread of this entertaining book. With his unique combination of hilarious stories, zany pictures and riotous rhymes, Dr. Suess has been delighting young children and helping them learn to read for over fifty years. Creator of the wonderfully anarchic Cat in the Hat, and ranked among the UK’s top ten favourite children’s authors, Dr. Seuss is a global best-seller, with nearly half a billion books sold worldwide. As part of a major rebrand programme, HarperCollins is relaunching Dr. Seuss’s best-selling books. In response to consumer demand, bright new cover designs incorporate much-needed guidance on reading levels. The standard paperbacks divide into three reading strands – Blue Back Books for parents to share with young children, Green Back Books for budding readers to tackle on their own, and Yellow Back Books for older, more fluent readers to enjoy. This is a Green Back book.

The legendary Bill Cosby, America’s most well-known comic, wants food lovers and over indulgers everywhere to know that they are not alone. Yes, just like the rest of us -- he is frightened -- especially if we've paid any attention lately to the front-page headlines and daily reports on the nightly news: Cholesterol Kills!" Cookies Clog Arteries!" Meatball Sandwiches Cause God Knows What" Repent and Exercise -- or Else!" In this original collection of humorous musings and digressions about our obsessions, the incomparable Doctor of Comedy is right on target as he reflects back on his own sixty-five years of dining at the banquet of life -- from the hoagies to the stogies to every death-defying delicacy in between. Who better than the man who made an international hero out of a boy named Fat Albert, to aim his great wit, wisdom, and observational talent at our national obsession with food and our never-ending quest for a healthy lifestyle. Bill Cosby is stepping up to the plate -- literally -- in this hilarious new book about his own lifelong cravings and snack attacks ... as well as his hopes that one day, sooner rather than later, pizza will be found to be a cure for heart disease and high cholesterol.

""Here is the first collection of the great cartoons of those often neglected creatures with whom we share the earth - the Animals Animals Animals of every size, shape, and species that we encounter underfoot and overhead. Whether it is because there's just something inherently funny about chickens, kangaroos, and moose, or whether it's because animals are a perfect reflection of the foibles of our own species, the fact is these creatures have the capacity to make us laugh - and a good cartoonist knows exactly how to make them do so. From the immortal dogs of James Thurber to Ed Koren's fuzzy, bizarre beings, the birds and beasts have made us smile, chuckle, and roar with pleasure. Now more than 370 wonderfully funny animal cartoons are brought together by three distinguished editors from The Cartoonists Guild. Represented is the work of 140 outstanding cartoonists, including Charles Addams, Peter Arno, Abner Dean, Rube Goldberg, Ed Nofziger, George Price, Arnold Roth, William Steig, Ed Sorel, Rowland B. Wilson, and many, many more. Not since Noah filled his ark has a menagerie been assembled that features as many surprises and as much good humor as the Animals Animals Animals of this delightful book." -- Book jacket
